The curtain of the country's cutting has just been opened in the form of war, and Liu Che is in a hurry again.

Cutting is not as simple as meeting each other, he also involves a lot of systemic things, and dealing with these systemic problems requires a steely character.

Gongsun Hong also served as the imperial historian before his death, and who else in the court had the courage to deal with the follow-up problems of the vassal states became a practical difficulty for Liu Che at present.

After a few days of searching, there is no talent like Gongsun Hong in Jiuqing, and the two positions of prime minister and imperial doctor cannot be vacant for a long time, otherwise many things will become very troublesome.

"Wei Qing, who do you think is the right person to be the prime minister?" Liu Che walked in the corridor, the three big men of the imperial court, Wei Qing is alone now, and of course the only person Liu Che can rely on is Wei Qing, so he asked.

Wei Qing walked behind Liu Che with his head held high, he heard Liu Che's question, but he didn't know how to answer, he offended Zhang Tang by recommending Gongsun Hong at the beginning, and now he doesn't want to participate, more importantly, he doesn't know who to recommend.

"Your Majesty, at present, the princes and kings are a little more honest, but there are still many incurable diseases to deal with, and the minister feels that the prime minister must be a tough person." Wei Qing felt that he could only admonish like this.

Liu Che stopped his pace and turned to look at Wei Qing, because this was to the point again, he couldn't find a soft character like Tian Wei and Xue Ze to be the prime minister, and it would soften all the officials.

Liu Che smiled slightly and turned around and continued: "I think the same way, I decided to choose one of the generals. ”

"Your Majesty!" Wei Qing's hairs suddenly stood up, would Liu Che want to find one in the Tiger Army? If that's the case, isn't it really the end of yourself? What is the way forward? Wei Qing was even more afraid that Liu Che was talking about himself.

Liu Che thought for a while as he walked, then turned around and asked, "Who do you think is more suitable in the army?" ”

Wei Qing replied: "The minister doesn't know, the minister thinks that only civil officials can govern the country......"

"But I need a steely person, like Gongsun Hong, a person who can suppress a hundred officials, a person who can change a hundred officials, all along, in the eyes of these civil officials, strong men seem to be a soldier's business, and it has nothing to do with them." Liu Che has a new consideration for this matter, and in layman's terms, he wants to train the soft civil officials to become tigers.

In the face of Liu Che's robbery, Wei Qing didn't speak anymore, so he had to listen first.

In the end, the prime minister's candidate was not decided, but the imperial doctor was determined.

Doctor Yushi is a fan, this person was recommended to Liu Che by Gongsun Hong before his death, and his previous role in the field of reform was very special, that is, the court and the local officials moved hands, and in the field of law, he took charge of the formation and operation of the thirteen departments (supervision agencies) of the country's assassins, and forcibly brought the local officials into the monitoring scope of the imperial court, and he was also an iron-fisted person.

Three days later, Liu Che suddenly summoned Wei Qing and talked about the candidate for prime minister who had been thinking hard for the past few days.

Li Cai!

Li Cai is Li Guang's cousin and once served as an attendant of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and the reason for choosing Li Cai is very simple, he has outstanding military achievements.

In the great cause of cutting, in the face of the defeat of the kings of Huainan, Jiangdu, Jiujiang and other princes, the king of Bohai raised his troops to the north to prepare to surrender to the Huns, but was completely annihilated by Li Cai who went south, this is a military merit, and Li Cai also won the title of Marquis of Le'an.

Another reason for choosing Li Cai is Liu Che's care for the Li family.

The Li family, especially Li Guang, really did his best for the Han Dynasty, so he also considered it emotionally, but more importantly, Li Cai was a military family and had outstanding military achievements.

"Your Majesty is wise, General Li has outstanding military achievements, and he is a military family, so he must be able to transform civilian officials." Wei Qing's hanging heart finally fell, as long as Liu Che was not thinking about himself.

Liu Che was very happy, he felt like a Bole: "Waiter, send an order to Li Cai, return to Beijing immediately." ”

"No!" When the chamberlain answered, he turned around and went to give the message.

Prime Minister Li Cai and Imperial Doctor are in the department, and it is Wei Qing who acts as the chief lieutenant, and the new team is once again successfully formed.

The big thing was decided at the beginning, but Liu Che still had one more thing he wanted to ask Wei Qing, but in the end, he swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.

"Your Majesty?" Wei Qing asked with a look of observation.

Liu Che suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, it's nothing." ”

In fact, what Liu Che wanted to talk about was Li Xi's matter, he accepted the national seal and general seal of Liu Zhi, the king of Suchuan, without authorization, and did not present it to the imperial court at the first time, but after all, Li Xi was one of Wei Qing's five deputy generals.

Wei Qing's head turned quickly, but no matter how fast it turned, it was in vain, and he couldn't guess.

Although Liu Che swallowed back his words, he really couldn't help it, because the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all talking about this matter: "Wei Qing, Li Xi accepted the national seal and general seal of Liu Zhi, the king of Jiangchuan, do you know?" ”

Wei Qing's forehead was cold after hearing this, and his waist bent slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of this matter." ”

"I remember, Li Guang once made such a mistake, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" Liu Che is the Son of Heaven, according to the regulations, the surrender of the princes and kings should also be allowed by the Son of Heaven, although Liu Che finally spared Liu Zhi, but after all, the procedure must be followed, not to mention that now this matter has caused criticism in the Manchu Dynasty.

Wei Qing was silent, Li Xi was his subordinate, and he could not escape the blame for such a thing: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." After speaking, Wei Qing quickly knelt on the ground.

"Get up." Liu Che saw that Wei Qing had put on such a posture.

Wei Qing stood up with apprehension, and then arched his hand and said: "Li Xi has a meritorious service in the first battle, and the minister suggests that the merit be folded, no reward, no knighthood, and decentralization to the county." ”

This was Wei Qing's most severe request to the deputy general after he made a mistake, and of course, it was also based on the judgment made by Li Guang that year without authorization to accept the lesson of the great general seal surrendered by King Liang, so Li Guang never returned to Chang'an.

"Just do as you say!" Liu Che was very happy today, so he didn't ask much.

Wei Qing sent it respectfully: "Obey the order!" ”

Looking at Liu Che's distant back, Wei Qing was worried in his heart.

Right Beiping Barracks.

The eight-hundred-mile messenger of the imperial court urgently came to the ironclad army camp.

In the face of the messenger who suddenly came from Chang'an, Li Guang, Li Kang, Li Xuan and other Li family members were very envious.

Li Cai knelt down to accept the order, everyone already probably knew that it was because Li Cai put down the rebellion of King Bohai, because according to the military merit system, he would also get the title, so it was also expected.

"Your Majesty has a will, Li Cai, to put down the rebellion of the King of Bohai and make meritorious contributions, and to seal the Marquis of Anle, and return to Beijing immediately." After the court attendant finished speaking, he stepped forward to help Li Cai: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general!" ”

The internal chamberlain Li Cai knew that he used to be a celebrity around Emperor Jing, Li Cai was puzzled? After sealing the marquis, he has to go back: "Lord Yang, I don't know if His Majesty has summoned the general to enter Beijing......"

The chamberlain looked at the curious Li Guang, Li Xuan, Li Dang and others on the side, so he smiled and bowed: "The old slave greets the Prime Minister." ”

"Ahh Everyone was stunned.
